    Resolved [RESOLVED] Write Txt File to Word using macro

    Could anyone advise me? Here's the scenario:

    - I have a text/ini file with data in it
    - Using a macro I want to read from this text file and write the data to word, preferrably in a table
    - The data needs to be automated performed when the document is created. There is a 3rd party app that is performing a mail merge and creates this doc.

    i've seen some similar examples but I'm still lost. Any help is much appreciated!

    OK I figured how to read from the txt file and write it to the word doc. Now I just need to format it in table columns. I will look in the forums and hopefully will find something
